The Clash Detection Tool offers accurate collision detection, enabling early identification and resolution of design conflicts. This feature is crucial for preventing costly errors in design, construction, and engineering projects.
How to Access the Clash Detection Tool:
Right-click on the asset either in the 3D environment or in the right-side panel.

Select "Evaluate Clash" from the context menu.
Choose the object or environment you want to evaluate against.

[Optional] You may enable or not the “Evaluate Clearance”
Clearance Collision Detection: identifies clashes beyond the object boundaries. Helping users to determine if an object can navigate narrow paths or fit through doorways.
Wait for the tool to process and display the results.
How to interpret results
There are two states of clash detection:
No clash detected
The window will indicate that there is no clash occurring. The asset will have a green outline as well.

Clash detected
The window will indicate that there is a clash occurring. On the asset, there will be red coloured dots that indicate at which points the two assets are clashing.

Clearance collision detected
The window will indicate that there is a “Clearance collision detected”. On the asset, there will be yelow coloured dots that indicate at which points the two assets don’t respect the Clearance distance defined.

Note
In addition to RealityAssets, imported 3D models and primitives can be evaluated for clashes against other objects or environmental factors.
